Zinc neodecanoate malodour counteractants: GivaudanRecent Research Landscape

Unpleasant sensory profiles in consumer products lead to brand rejection and high return rates. These innovations utilize specific organic molecular structures to chemically neutralize or mask offensive volatiles.

What technical problems is Givaudan addressing in Zinc neodecanoate malodour counteractants?

Persistent environmental malodour

(3)evidences

The presence of volatile offensive molecules in ambient air or on surfaces creates sensory discomfort. Neutralizing these odors at the source prevents olfactory fatigue and improves consumer hygiene standards.

Microbial urine malodour formation

(3)evidences

Residual foul odors in enclosed systems and absorbent materials resist standard cleaning. Eliminating these sensory triggers improves perceived hygiene and user well-being.
